1. Remove the spark plug cover on the top right side of the
generator, j ust below the handle (Figure12).
2.
Carefullypull the spark plug lead from the spark plug. Use a
socket wrench to removethe spark plug.

LOCATION
If the generatoris going to be storedfor morethan six (6) months,
the generatorshould be preparedas follows:
1. Removeall gasolinefrom the fuel tank.
2. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel or
open the valve on carburetor bowl (Figure 13), and allow
gasoline to drain down tube into a receptacle. Discard
appropriately.Besure to close the valve once the gasolinehas
drained.
3. After the engine cools down, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommendedgrade.
4. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of
engineoil into the cylinder.Coverspark plug holewith rag. Pull
the starting rope several times to coat the cylinder walt with
engine oil.
5. Install and tighten the spark plug.
6. Clean the generator outer surfaces. Check that cooling air
slots and openings on generatorare open and unobstructed.
7. Storethe unit in a clean, dry place.
Do not store gasolinefrom one season to another.
If possible, store the unit indoors and cover it to give protection
from dust and dirt.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Transport or store the generatoronly if it has cooled completely.
Make sure the fuel valve and the vent on the fuel cap are both in
the OFF("0") position.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as the carburetor,fuel hose or tank during
long-term storage.Also, experienceindicatesthat alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
which leadsto separationand formation of acids; these acids gas
can damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems,the use of a commercial fuel stabilizer
prior to storage is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when adding the fuel stabilizer.
